Maintainer's Summit moved to Edinburgh
The Maintainer's Summit, which is an invite-only gathering of 30 or so kernel developers to discuss process issues with Linus Torvalds, has moved from November 12 in Vancouver, Canada to October 22 in Edinburgh, Scotland in conjunction with Open Source Summit Europe. The technical side of the discussions will still be held as the Kernel Summit track at the Linux Plumbers Conference November 13-15 in Vancouver. There was, it seems, some confusion about the Maintainer's Summit, as Theodore Y. Ts'o said in the announcement of the move: "Last Friday (just before Labor Day) I learned that Linus had gotten
confused about when and where the Maintainer's Summit was going to be
held this year. And most unfortunately, he has already scheduled a
family vacation overlapping with the week of the Maintainer's Summit. [...] The Kernel Summit track will still be held in Vancouver alongside
Plumber's. Technical discussions will take place there; we simply
won't have the time, or necessarily, the right people, to have
technical discussions at the Maintainer's Summit."
